[X2Go-Announcement] X2Go Session Broker (0.0.2.0) released
by Mike Gabriel 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Dear all, the X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go component ,,x2gobroker''. New gains of this version of ,,x2gobroker'' are: o Add UCCS-like WebUI frontend that turns X2Go Session Broker into a UCCS session broker. UCCS is a JSON based session broker protocol developed by Canonical Ltd. and it is used for the Remote Login feature in the Unity Greeter on Ubuntu workstations (included with 12.10 and newer) The UCCS WebUI frontend has been sponsored by Fleten.net in Denmark. Thanks for Kjetil in supporting the X2Go upstream development and trusting in our skills. X2Go Component: x2gobroker Version: 0.0.2.0 Status: RELEASE Date: Sat, 27 Apr 2013 12:20:22 +0200 Changes: x2gobroker (0.0.2.0) RELEASED; urgency=low . * New upstream version (0.0.2.0): - Add a UCCS-like web frontend UI that allows unity greeter to offer X2Go session logins. At the time of writing this, on the system running Unity Greeter it requires a patched remote-login-service (see LP:1172943, LP:1172318) and patched unity-greeter (LP:1172928, LP:1172877). Additionally the system running Unity Greeter requires the extra packages lightdm-remote-session-x2go and libpam-x2go.

[X2Go-Announcement] Official German support forum: X2Go-Community.org
by Mike Gabriel 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Dear all, this is to announce the site X2Go-Community.org as the official German support forum for X2Go. X2Go-Community.org is mainly run by Tobias Luther and he will do his best to answer your (German) questions on X2Go there. Tobias is an active member of the Linux4Africa project, located in Leipzig, Germany. Tobias and I (on behalf of the X2Go Developers) have worked out a workflow that will assure an exchange between the German(-only) forum users and our Englisch mailing list user community. 1. If technical problems with X2Go occur that need reporting upstream to the X2Go bug tracker (in English), Tobias will support the forum users with it (and maybe even translate their bug reports to English). 2. If issues occur that are beyond Tobias's scope, he will try to get support and help from the (Englisch speaking) international X2Go community and after that report back to the German forum users. 3. Tobias has also offered helping to improve the documentation of X2Go. Originally, X2Go-Community.org offered its own X2Go documentation. This effort will be joined and his work will be merged into the X2Go Wiki. Once that is done, a German extract will be generated from what is available on wiki.x2go.org which then will be presented on X2Go-Community.org. Welcome on the team, Tobias! Thanks a lot for your contributions. light+love, Mike -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, rothenstein 5, 24214 neudorf-bornstein fon: +49 (1520) 1976 148 GnuPG Key ID 0x25771B31 mail: mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.x…
